 Does Cloud Data Integration support Google Workforce Identity Federation for authentication to Google Big Query ? Service accounts authentication is not allowed in our environment.

Thanks,

Hi Parry,

Thanks for reaching out. We're currently checking with our development and product management teams and will get back to you shortly.

Hi again Parry,

We've verified with our product management team that the BigQuery connector currently doesn’t support any other authentication methods other than service account.
